A worm tower is a feeding site that you set up for red wiggler worms in your garden. Use a large piece of PVC pipe with large holes drilled in the parts that go underground. Cover the top with screen and a rubber band to keep flies out.
Using a worm tower is an awesome way to continuously fertilize via vermicompost. Red wiggler worms inhabit your garden, you feed them, they fertilize your plants.

how do we get rid of the ants that just came into our worm tower?
when will we get to see the black gold?
Oooh, ants. I have never had any ant issues. In a standard compost pile, ants are often a sign of it being too dry. Have you watered your tower every day?
How long on the black gold depends on how many worms you’ve got. I put close to a pound in each tower and it only took a week to make compost in the tower.
